AMG Titanium Expansion — Neshannock Township

MG Titanium Expansion Brings $15.7 Million Investment to Lawrence County

A major aerospace manufacturing expansion is moving forward in Neshannock Township. Measel-Bruce Inc., which operates AMG Titanium Division, has received a $750,000 Redevelopment Assistance Capital Program (RACP) grant through the Lawrence County Economic Development Corporation to support a $15.7 million expansion.

The project will expand AMG Titanium’s operations into a new 60,000-square-foot advanced technology production facility, along with a separate 17,000-square-foot corporate headquarters. The expansion is expected to create at least 50 new family-sustaining aerospace manufacturing jobs.

With a significant backlog of new aircraft orders and plans to increase production, the investment represents another important step in growing Lawrence County’s advanced manufacturing sector and strengthening the domestic aerospace supply chain.

AMG Chrome Brings Critical Manufacturing Back to the U.S.

Lawrence County is now home to the only chrome metal producer in the United States. AMG Chrome’s new facility in Union Township represents a $15 million investment and the return of domestic chrome metal production for the first time in about two decades.

Built adjacent to AMG’s existing titanium operations, the facility has a planned production capacity of 6,500 tons annually and has created 36 jobs, with opportunities for future expansion.

Chrome metal is a critical material used in high-performance applications including jet engines, space launch vehicles and advanced energy technologies. The project strengthens the domestic supply chain while positioning Lawrence County as an important part of U.S. advanced manufacturing and national security.

$1.5 Million Investment Supports Reopening of Former INMETCO Facility

A longtime industrial property in Ellwood City is moving closer to new life. Irongate Industrial LLC/American Metal Recycling (AMR) has received a $1.5 million Redevelopment Assistance Capital Program (RACP) grant to support the renovation and reopening of the former INMETCO facility.

The project includes rebuilding the blast furnace, modernizing infrastructure and utilities, and installing new refining systems and equipment. Once operational, the facility plans to reclaim nickel, chrome and iron, with future expansion into lithium and cobalt recycling.

The investment marks an important step toward returning a former industrial site to productive use while strengthening Lawrence County’s manufacturing base and supporting the growing metals recycling industry.

Preparing Lawrence County for the Next Development Opportunity

Forward Lawrence recently hosted its Real Estate Development Breakfast, bringing together regional real estate professionals, developers and economic development partners to discuss what it takes to successfully compete for new investment.

Representatives from the Pittsburgh Regional Alliance highlighted the importance of preparation, strong partnerships and ready-to-build properties. Programs such as PA Sites are helping communities prepare properties for development through investments in infrastructure, site preparation and other improvements.



Forward Lawrence continues this work through its Digital Market and by actively marketing available properties throughout Lawrence County, including Powder Mill Works in Mahoning Township, the former JM Equipment property in Shenango Township and the Pier Building Complex in downtown New Castle.
